All About Deodorant

At routine, we believe that your scent is like a fingerprint, and how you choose to smell tells a story. Our credo is to offer beautiful, natural personal products that feel and smell incredible. Everyday routines that do good and are life-changing. To compliment your pheromones without compromise. To honour nature. To produce kinder to the earth, mindfully sourced packaging and products in our neighbourhood home of Canadian Rockies. To fall in love with how YOU smell.
And most honestly, to bring the joy, fun and wild back into the modern bathroom. Because routine was built on friendship, and we want you to be best friends with your routine.

CLASSIC FORMULA + CRYSTAL
ROUTINE HAS COLLABORATED WITH SOME INCREDIBLE VISIONARIES TO CREATE TWO UNIQUE SIGNATURE SCENTS.
CLASSIC FORMULA WITH DIETARY MAGNESIUM & REDUCED BAKING SODA.
BAKING SODA IS AN AMAZING DEODORIZER BUT....
It's alkaline, which can cause a slight pH imbalance, leading to skin sensitivity (usually itchiness, redness, or in very rare instances a slight darkening of the skin).
ALL Baking Soda Scents (except Like a Boss) are REDUCED baking soda!
9/10 people with a baking soda sensitivity are OK with routine's Classic formula.
LESS IS MORE
RUB GENTLY, NOT AFTER SHAVING.
WASH ARMPITS AT END OF DAY
WHICH FORMULA TO RECOMMEND TO PEOPLE WITH SENSITIVE SKIN? BAKING SODA FREE.
In our BSF deos, we replaced baking soda with dietary magnesium.
Having a magnesium deficiency actually makes sweat smell worse, so this extra dose is the perfect baking soda replacement.
The addition of this amazing magnesium also relaxes armpits and fends off those stress sweats!
